invites the public to a lecture by photographer Elaine Mayes on October
17 at 3 p.m. in the Jerome Liebling Center for Film, Photography, and
Video. A gallery reception will follow.
<br> Mayes will speak as part of the Tashmoo Lecture Series, which
brings filmmakers, photographers, media artists, critics, and
historians to Hampshire.
<br>
<br>An exhibition of her work, Elaine Mayes’ Photographs 1971-2009, is
on view in the Leo Model Gallery in the Liebling Center through October
30. Gallery hours are 1 to 6 p.m.
<br>
<br>Mayes is a professor emerita of Hampshire College, where she taught
from 1971 to 1981. An endowed scholarship fund named in her honor has
been established by alumni and faculty to support Division III student
projects (senior theses). <br>
<br>Mayes has had a 40-plus year career in the arts of photography and
film as a cultural documentarian. Her well known works include early
rock-n-roll performers and audiences from the Monterey Pop Festival of
1967 through the Punk New Wave and No Wave Ska music scenes. Haight
Ashbury Summer of Love portraits from the late 1960s are a cultural
document of a major moment in U.S. history.
<br>
<br>In her latest work, shown for the first time in Hampshire’s Leo
Model Gallery, Culture Landscapes, Italy-France, summer of 2009, Mayes
continues to probe the iconography of contemporary culture through
photography, asking rather than telling, who are we?
